PRODUCTION DATA
The choice of switching frequency is a compromise between conversion efficiency and overall design size. Higher switching frequency allows the use of smaller inductors and output capacitors, and hence, a more compact design. However, lower switching frequency implies reduced switching losses and usually results in higher system efficiency, so the 500kHz switching frequency was chosen for this example, remove R10 and leave RT pin floating.
Please note the switching frequency is also limited by the following as mentioned in Section 6.3.10:
